"Ah Zhe, this place is so big, close to the two of us, can you really find the Soul Gathering Wood and the Soul Attracting Grass?"

"These two things only grow in the heart of the land of extreme cold, extreme evil, or extreme shade. So, we don't have to search inch by inch. ”

"Oh, Na Zhe, why are the trees here all black?"

"Because of the infestation of evil gas, miasma, and poisonous gas. ”

"You often tell me about evil qi, how is evil qi formed?"

Su Zhe thought for a while and said, "With a scientific explanation, it is some kind of vicious air flow that is harmful to the human body. Formally, it's about the same thing as poison gas. ”

All of them are harmful to the human body, and they are all things that can be both naturally formed and artificially made. To be honest, the gap between the two is really not particularly large.

"I see. As she spoke, Yu Hongxue licked her lips gently. She had repeated this action twenty-six times, and every time she licked it, she had to giggle.

Su Zhe didn't notice. Because his nerves were always tense, and he was always on high alert.

The rotten leaves on the ground are very, very thick. When he first entered, a forest musk deer broke in, and in less than three seconds, it disappeared.

Sink completely into the ground......

As for now, it's been almost twenty minutes since they came in, and the two of them have hardly seen anything alive.

In addition, the only thing that makes people feel strange and wrong is what Yu Hongxue said before, the trees are pitch black.

It's not normal black, it's metal-like and reflects the luster.

In short, extremely weird.

However, these are not the reasons for Su Zhe's vigilance. What really made him so wary was the substance-like aura around him...... He couldn't absorb it at all.

Yes, just like the situation in the ancient tomb in Bingzhou at the beginning, it was almost the same, even if he deliberately took out the demon refining pot that he had just refined not long ago, he would not be able to absorb even a bit.

You must know that although that thing is a second-order magic weapon, it is specially used to absorb the two qi of yin and evil.

And this illustrates a problem.

I am afraid that this area hides deeper secrets.

"Be careful!"

As soon as I thought of this, a coquettish reprimand suddenly sounded. Along with it, there is also a black shadow. In a flash of cold light, a small black snake no more than the length of a palm was cut in an instant. But instead of being relaxed, Su Zhe's pupils shrank sharply when he saw this, and he shouted urgently: "Retreat!"

Yu Hongxue did not hesitate, and jumped on top of another tree trunk more than ten meters away. But when she turned around to look, her face changed suddenly.

I saw that where the two of them were originally standing, countless small black snakes suddenly appeared, like sharp arrows, rushing towards Su Zhe at an extremely fast speed.

As fast as lightning, it brought up countless afterimages.

"This ...... How is that possible!?"

Fast, too fast. This speed is almost no less than the full-speed explosion of the powerhouses in the early stage of Yudan.

And, what made her even more shocked was that after a defensive shield thrown out by Su Zhe was hit by those black snakes, there was an extremely piercing "zizi" sound, and the blue light shield quickly dissolved, but in just a few seconds, the light shield that could have blocked the full force of the strong man in the middle stage of the knot pill had disappeared completely.

Yes, you read that right. Not a collapse, not an explosion, but a direct ...... Gone!

Wait, disappear!?

A chilling sense of fear instantly enveloped her whole body, and Yu Hongxue shouted bitterly: "Ah Zhe, be careful!!"

Su Zhe turned his head when he heard the words and smiled lightly at her. In the next moment, a crimson flame burst out of his body, completely enveloping him in the blink of an eye.

"Red Flame Thunder Explosion!"

In the dull roar, dozens of thunderballs were wrapped in blazing flames

, exploded violently in front of him, countless snake shadows evaporated in an instant, and the big tree inevitably burned into a raging fire.

"Whew...... Scared the hell out of me. ”

Gently stroking his chest with one hand, Yu Hongxue let out a long breath.

"Ah Zhe ......"

"Rewind !!"

"What!?"

In the exclamation, Yu Hongxue heard an extremely subtle sound of breaking the air, which was behind her head. She didn't hesitate, and while she swept forward, she slashed backwards with a wisp of knife in her backhand. Su Zhe was taken aback and shouted urgently: "Don't ......"

Unfortunately, it was already late.

The blade easily cut through the phantom, bringing a rain of black blood. Yu Hongxue stimulated the aura in her body and wanted to disperse the blood, but the sound of "Zizi" in her ears and the rain of blood that was still rapidly approaching her made her face change again.

"This ...... What the hell is ...... What's that?"

"Bang Bang ......"

The moment the blood came, five ice shields appeared out of thin air in front of Hongxue at the same time, temporarily blocking them for a moment. And after the ice shield melted, Yu Hongxue's figure had already disappeared. As a result, the blood fell on the trunk of the tree, corroding it completely in less than a second, and finally fell to the ground, gradually sinking into the mud of rotting leaves.

"Ah Zhe ......"

On the trunk of another big tree, Yu Hongxue hugged Su Zhe's neck, her heart beating violently, and her face turned pale.

Not because of the thrilling scene just now, but because of ......

Under the reflection of the firelight, dozens of large trees nearby, for some time, quietly climbed with countless strange-looking ...... Black creatures?

A strange snake with four eyes and eight legs, a centipede with a toad face, and a spider with a lizard-like body......

Strange. Without exception, they are all eerily black, and their pupils are dead gray.

"Goo......

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva vigorously, Yu Hongxue, who had a numb scalp, asked in a trembling voice, "This, what are these?"

“...... Poison. ”

"Gu?"

This is the only explanation. Su Zhe's face was extremely ugly. He put down the red snow, turned into an ice spirit, raised his hand and shot an icicle, freezing the burning tree, and then said in a deep voice: "Go, break through, remember, don't let them come within ten meters of us." ”

"Good!"

As soon as the words fell, the two of them flashed out at the same time. However, this move was suddenly like stabbing a hornet's nest, triggering the most violent attacks of countless Gu worms.

"Whoosh ......"

The sound of breaking the air like lightning was endless, and Yu Hongxue shot like the wind, swept out a blade like a curtain, and instantly emptied the front piece. The two took advantage of the situation and broke through without hesitation.

But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a large number of Gu worms popped out in front of them. Yu Hongxue's heart sank, and her face was ugly: "How can there be so many?"

"It seems that a special ecosystem has been formed here. Su Zhe exhaled and said heavily: "We didn't expect this at first, but we made a big mistake!"

Sweeping the front again, Yu Hongxue frowned and said, "What?"

"They are creatures that live in the dark. These creatures usually have a characteristic: they have poor eyesight, but they have an unusually strong sense of hearing. ”

Yu Hongxue reacted immediately, frowned and said, "Then if you continue to kill like this, will the result only be more and more?"

Su Zhe nodded, and just wanted to speak, but a flash of aura exploded in his mind.

Why do I just want to kill them? These Gu worms are all inferior creatures, they ...... Actually, it's very easy to deal with!

As soon as he thought of this, Su Zhe didn't hesitate anymore, and even shouted in a deep voice: "Illusion!"

As soon as the words fell, his divine consciousness had already dispersed in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped all the radius of two hundred meters. The next moment, a stunned scene...... appeared.

I saw that all the Gu worms around me suddenly froze as if they were enchanted. Those that flew in mid-air, fell directly. As for the trunks, they are motionless. If it weren't for Hongxue's clear knowledge that these were living creatures, she would almost have thought that they were just a group of specimens.

"This ...... This ......"

Yu Hongxue was dumbfounded. After a long while, Fang stammered and asked, "Ah Zhe, what's going on?"

Su Zhexiao looked at the Gu worms that were still breaking into the two hundred meters range, but one by one they all fell to the ground without exception, and said happily: "Sure enough, illusions are just as effective as these things. ”

"Phantom ...... Illusion?"

"yes. Su Zhe smiled: "As long as it is a living being, it has a brain." If you have a brain, illusion can work on it. The brain capacity of these Gu worms is too small, and it is simply not too easy to control. ”

Saying that, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "I'm also stupid, such a simple truth, I should have thought of it a long time ago." ”

“...... You, how did you never tell me about illusions?"

Su Zhe rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I will have a lot of things, and I have to tell you everything?"

"Ah~~" Yu Hongxue stomped her feet and shouted in a coquettish voice: "Don't be a master, people like you will be sad~~"

"......" Su Zhe twitched the corners of his mouth, held it for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Okay." With my current consciousness, I won't be able to last long. So, let's hurry. ”

With that, he grabbed her soft and walked away.

As for the Gu worms in the same place, it took a few minutes before they slowly woke up. Unfortunately, they don't have the stellar mind to think. Therefore, after a brief moment of confusion, they each instinctively returned to where they were supposed to go.

On the other side, Su Zhe, who couldn't grind Hongxue, was helpless, and finally handed over the illusion to her. Along with the loss, there are also lightning flashes, rock walls, and ice spirit armor.

No way. Just a moment ago, they almost capsized in the gutter. To be on the safe side, Su Zhe could only throw away all the life-saving methods.

It was only ten minutes later that his form stopped again. Complexion...... Unspeakably ugly.

"What's wrong, Ah Zhe?"

Along the way, Yu Hongxue was hurrying to absorb and digest the spells passed on to her by Su Zhe, so she couldn't notice anything wrong in front of her. Su Zhe understood, so he slowly raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Look, where ......"

Looking at his fingers, Yu Hongxue's pupils suddenly shrank.

Ahead, there is light. The source of the light is a gap in the canopy.

"This ...... Didn't you just make it?"

Su Zhe first nodded, then shook his head again, and said in a heavy tone: "This ...... I made it. But, not just now!"

"Huh?"

Yu Hongxue was stunned, then her pupils shrank suddenly, and she shouted, "What!?

"Well, what do you mean...... We...... It's turned back again!?"

Although he didn't want to admit it, Su Zhe had to admit it. Yes, they ...... Turned back again.

At this moment, he unconsciously recalled what Yu Hongxue had said to him before he came in.

There is a special magnetic field here that affects the brainstem and anterior lobe of the brain in humans, so that they lose their direction judgment and get lost in it.

At that time, he thought about many ways to feel after being influenced, but he never expected that this kind of influence would be so ...... Silently!
